Highlights

"Jake fitted 4 new internal doors for us, including all the door furniture. He was polite, friendly and easy to communicate with. He got on with the job efficiently and kept everything neat and tidy. We also really appreciated his flexibility, coming back to finish the work on another date when we found we needed to exchange one of the doors. Thanks Jake!"

Unfortunately it was a huge dissatisfaction, disappointment from my part and quite annoyed with the entire work done. The wardrobe handles are all over the place, not aligned well, rushed job and not with care at all which ruined my furniture. They left one of the furnitures uncompleted and I had to chase them to come back and complete it for a month and it is still not finished. In the end I had to find someone else to correct their mess which will cost me extra waste of time and expenses for a new person to get it done. Avoid at all cost if you can if you want to save time and money.

This tradesman did a good job in hanging my sliding door. Perhaps not quite enough attention to communication (A no-show can cost your customer a day.)

Jake came to remove a transom window above an en-suite bathroom. Before the day, he ensured he had all the info he needed to complete the job smoothly and he arrived perfectly punctually. We’re very happy with the result and look forward to him returning to do more jobs we have lined up.

Jake replaced the hinges for 8 internal doors in our house. Arrived at the agreed time, was polite and got to work immediately, completing the task in good time. Work was of a high standard and tidied up after himself. Thanks Jake, would use you services again.

Jake was prompt with replies to help arrange the job at short notice and able to complete the work with no issues, including key cutting at a much more competitive price than other offers. Would certainly recommend

Smart checks

Before you hire a builder

Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
